How can soft tissue be fossilized if the rock that contains the fossils was laid down over a long period? Five exquisitely preserved octopus fossils defy the idea that sedimentary rocks form slowly. Richard Fangrad and Calvin Smith discuss this amazing article from Creation magazine.

From the Dragon like creature found in China, to one of the best Fossil exhibits in the world, these are 11 AMAZING Fossil Discoveries!

Canadian Fish Fossils-- While digging a basement for a new home in Alberta Canada, Edgar Nernberg discovered five fish fossil specimens in nearly perfect condition were concealed in the sandstone. Researchers aid the fish fossil specimens were found in a block of sandstone in an approximate 60-million-year-old rock formation called the Paskapoo Formation underlying Calgary. A local paleontologist claimed that the ancient fossil fish have importance due to their being primitive representatives of a large group of bony fish of the modern era. While we didn’t get the exact species of these fossil fish, one key element to keep in mind is their age, estimated at 60 million years old. It’s ironic because Edgar Nernberg, the man who discovered them is actually on the board of directors for Big Valley’s Creation Science Museum … a creationist museum that believes the Earth is only 6,000 years old.

Dino Tail -- The five-yard long fossilized tail of a dinosaur was discovered by villagers in a Mexican desert in 2013. It was described as “unusually well preserved” and was the first ever dinosaur tail found in Mexico. The 72-million year old fossil tail belonged to a hadrosaur, known as duck-billed dinosaurs, due to the resemblance of their heads to that of modern ducks. Found in the Coahuila state, archaeologists found 50 vertebrae in the animal’s tail completely intact … and also found additional fossilized bones at the site, including one of the hadrosaur’s hips. Researchers believe the discovery could help better understand hydrosaurs, which were thought to range in size from 10 to 65 feet long, and lived during the later Cretaceous Period. Interesting that they only found the tail of this beast … makes you wonder what happened to the rest of it!

Think it could be a scene from Jurassic Park? Thousands of bird fossils from the dinosaur era were unearthed in northeast Burma in 2016. Close to 100 million years old, the fossils belong to ancestors of modern birds … despite the age, feathers of of the birds are perfectly preserved after millions of years in amber … and show no major deviation from the anatomical makeup of today’s birds. Overall, thousands of specimens of feathers were discovered, including tiny bird wings, measuring between two to three centimeters long. The huge haul of fossils was discovered in an area of Burma that has yielded thousands of specimens of scorpions, spiders, lizards, in addition to isolated feathers. It’s believed that this is the first time entire portions of birds have been discovered.

Dragon of Qijiang (k’jang) -- Construction workers in southern China discovered the fossils of a dinosaur the lived around 160 million years ago. The workers were digging in Qijiang City when they hit a row of large neck vertebrae that stretched out in the ground. Paleontologists reconstructing the skeleton claim that up to half of the animal’s 49-foot length is accounted for by the neck. Most sauropods, or long-necked dinosaurs had necks measuring only around one-third of their body length. While it’s hard to imagine the animal being able to even lift a neck that long, the animal had air pockets within the massive bones of its vertebrae … meaning that, despite it’s enormous size, the neck was relatively lightweight. Scientists think that fossils such as this may have given rise to the legend of serpent-like dragons that persist throughout China. The dinosaur was named Qijianglong (k’jang-long) … meaning, dragon of Qijiang.

In 2014, the North Sea yielded the skeleton of a wooly mammoth as a group of researchers trawled waters off the east coast of Rotterdam at depths of 100 feet. The area was a stretch of low-lying icy tundra some 40,000 years ago when the animal was alive … Researchers believe the animals used an ancient landmass known as Doggerland, a vast tundra that stretched between Europe and Britain. While scientists said it’s extremely rare to find skulls of mammoths and large bones on the seabed, it’s not uncommon to to find bones of extinct creatures by dredging. The mammoth’s skull was initially found in 2010 … and it’s thought the animal measured up to 11 feet tall. North Sea Fossils, the research company that found the mammoth, also found the bones of Irish elk, woolly rhinos, and the prehistoric skull of a European bison.

We have always been told that it takes millions of years for muddy deposits to turn into rock. Those who believe in creation have always disagreed. It seems pretty clear to us that much of the sedimentary rock we see today was deposited during the Great Flood at the time of Noah, which was not millions of years ago. Creationists generally place the Flood at about 4,600 years ago. Until recently, evolutionists dismissed this date as impossible: sedimentary rocks simply could not form that fast. Well, now it seems that they spoke too soon.While digging some trenches in a salt marsh, a team of sedimentologists found stony nodules in the mud. Further research on how the nodules formed revealed that a mud deposit can be transformed into a layer of sedimentary rock in as little as six months! They found that two bacteria are responsible for this. One species gets its energy from the sulphates in sea water. In the process, it produces hydrogen sulphide. The second species of bacteria can do the same thing. But if there is too much hydrogen sulphide, it can also change iron compounds so that they react with hydrogen sulphide and other salts. The result is stony lumps of iron sulphide and iron carbonate – sedimentary rock that is hardened quickly enough to fossilize any animal before it decays.Science has now confirmed what creationists who believe the Bible have always suspected. There are natural processes that can form sedimentary rock within the limited timeframe allowed by a literal reading of scriptural history.

In this episode Richard Fangrad and Calvin Smith discuss CMI speaker David Catchpoole's experience of meeting a young lady that doctors had described as having left over 'fish gills'. Does this really support the evolutionary assertion that humans evolved from fish?

Luke 19:40 But He answered and said to them, 'I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out.'

Here at Creation Moments we have mentioned a few examples of fossils that, without argument, were formed recently. We have been trying to show that when you see a fossil or hear the word, you should not automatically think millions of years. In an attempt to maintain the illusion that fossils automatically must be millions of years old, evolutionists dismiss the examples of young fossils as freaks of nature. However, there are many examples of recent fossils.

It was low tide when a circular rock was discovered on a western Australian beach. A little over two feet in diameter, the wheel-shaped rock weighed 165 pounds. It was hard and solid, even ringing like a bell when struck. Examination proved that the rock was a dense high-calcium sandstone. Even before it was cut open for study, the rock seemed unusual. Once it was cut open it became clear that this was fossilized fence wire. Further analysis identified the wire as "Number 8" fence wire that was used at a nearby sheep station between 1920 and 1970. It was standard practice that after 10 years, old fence wires were replaced. The old wire was coiled and often thrown into the sea. This fossil could have been only about 30 years old and not more than 80 years old!

The existence of fossils does not disprove the Bible's account of history that dates the Earth at only about 6,000 years old. If fossils can form in a relatively few number of years, 6,000 years are more than enough time to form all the millions of fossils discovered.

Prayer: Lord, protect me from being misled by those who doubt Your Word. Amen.

Coleoid cephalopods (octopus, squid and cuttlefish) are active, resourceful predators with a rich behavioural repertoire. They have the largest nervous systems among the invertebrates and present other striking morphological innovations including camera-like eyes, prehensile arms, a highly derived early embryogenesis and a remarkably sophisticated adaptive colouration system. To investigate the molecular bases of cephalopod brain and body innovations, we sequenced the genome and multiple transcriptomes of the California two-spot octopus, Octopus bimaculoides. We found no evidence for hypothesized whole-genome duplications in the octopus lineage. The core developmental and neuronal gene repertoire of the octopus is broadly similar to that found across invertebrate bilaterians, except for massive expansions in two gene families previously thought to be uniquely enlarged in vertebrates: the protocadherins, which regulate neuronal development, and the C2H2 superfamily of zinc-finger transcription factors. Extensive messenger RNA editing generates transcript and protein diversity in genes involved in neural excitability, as previously described7, as well as in genes participating in a broad range of other cellular functions. We identified hundreds of cephalopod-specific genes, many of which showed elevated expression levels in such specialized structures as the skin, the suckers and the nervous system. Finally, we found evidence for large-scale genomic rearrangements that are closely associated with transposable element expansions. Our analysis suggests that substantial expansion of a handful of gene families, along with extensive remodelling of genome linkage and repetitive content, played a critical role in the evolution of cephalopod morphological innovations, including their large and complex nervous systems.

**Update** 2/14/2012 This has been debunked. Real footage here http://youtube.com/watch?v=D9Qsdxye6Yc&feature=player_embedded

The Sun Reports:

The animal -- thought to have mostly died out roughly 4,000 years ago -- was apparently filmed wading through a river in the freezing wilds of Siberia.

The jaw-dropping footage was caught by a government-employed engineer last summer in the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug region of Siberia, it is claimed.

He filmed the elephant-sized creature as it struggled against the racing water.

Its hair matches samples recovered from mammoth remains regularly dug up from the permafrost in frozen Russia.

The official was reportedly in the area surveying for a planned road.

Paranormal writer Michael Cohen said: "Rumours of a handful of mammoths still kicking around in the vast wilderness of Siberia have been circulating for decades and occasionally sightings by locals have occurred.

"Siberia is an enormous territory and much of it remains completely unexplored and untouched by humans. "

Woolly mammoths roamed the Earth 10,000 years ago during the last Ice Age.

A small pocket remained on and around Wrangel Island, off the coast of Siberia, and these did not die out until 3,500 years ago.

Mr Cohen, 41, added: "It is highly possible that a number of species, extinct elsewhere, survive in the area.

"If surviving woolly mammoths were found in Siberia, it could run against Russia's plans to further develop and exploit the area's considerable resources.

"It would be potentially one of the greatest discoveries ever."

But viewers are divided on the nature of the animal seen in the video. Some have dismissed it as a hoax while others reckon it is an elephant lost in the Siberian wilderness. The third theory is the sighting shows a bear eating a huge fish. What do you think?

Scientists once thought of tool use as a defining feature of humans. That's until examples of tool use came in from other primates, along with birds and an array of other mammals. Now, a report in the December 14th, 2009 issue of Current Biology, a Cell Press publication, adds an octopus to the growing list of tool users.

We are constantly fed the idea through newspapers, magazines, museums and text books the belief that fossils and rocks petrify over millions of years. Richard and Calvin discuss how this concept has been debunked by evolutionary scientists which means that the rocks and fossils we find on the earth could easily have formed in the 4,500 years since Noah's Flood.

Many people think radioisotope dating methods are an exact science that can determine the age of things conclusively. Richard Fangrad and Calvin Smith discuss an article by Geologist Tas Walker from Creation magazine that shows how dating methods really work.

About the Academy:

The California Academy of Sciences is the only place on the planet with an aquarium, a planetarium, a natural history museum, and a 4-story rainforest all under one roof. It’s a stunning architectural achievement with hundreds of unique exhibits and nearly 40,000 live animals.

Chemical and biological sedimentary rocks are discussed in this video. Carbonates, including limestones and dolomites are discussed, and cave stalactites are made. Evaporites are made in pan on stove experiment, and coal and chert are also examined as other forms of sedimentary rock. This episode is to be paired with the "Clastic Rocks" episode for a complete review of the sedimentary rock types.

Many people were taught that fossils are evidence of things happening slowly over millions of years. But they're not. On this week's episode, find out why standard evolutionary explanations for fossil formation don't work.

Living fossils are fossilized animals and plants that look similar to modern organisms. Random mutations would have been occurring in creatures throughout such supposed vast time periods separating the assumed ancient and modern organisms. How then would 'living fossils' remain unchanged over supposed hundreds of millions of years, if evolution has changed worms into humans in the same time frame?

In this episode Richard Fangrad and Calvin Smith discuss common misconceptions about the geologic column and the fossils it contains. Many people remember being taught that the fossil record shows a progression of evolution over millions of years, with a certain fixed order of fossils showing a lineage of simpler to more complex forms. Recent findings that have forced a rethinking of evolutionary assumptions that overthrow the idea that fossils are never found 'out of place'.

Even renowned (evolutionary) ornithologist Dr Alan Feduccia agrees that dinosaur to bird evolution is 'full of holes'. Richard Fangrad and Calvin Smith discuss some of the details on this topic from the article in Creation magazine.

Mark Panbecker has replied to a comment on Discovery Rewrites Plant Evolution: Noah's Ark was the focus of a 1993 study headed by Dr. Seon Hong at the ship research center KRISO, based in Daejeon, South Korea. Dr. Hong's team compared 12 hulls of different proportions to discover which design was most practical. No hull shape was found to significantly outperform the 4,300-year-old biblical design. In fact, the Ark's careful balance is easily lost if the proportions are modified, rendering the vessel either unstable, prone to fracture, or dangerously uncomfortable.

Is the Wood Recently Found on Mt. Ararat from the Ark?http://answersingenesis.org/articles/aid/v6/n1/mt-ararat-wood

A Creation Challenge to the Chickens of Evolution - http://youtube.com/watch?v=bhkqJry3iBM

The Ark has long been the atheist's favorite object of ridicle. Instead of responding with factual evidence, many intimidated Christians [closet Christians] are left cowering in their pews, wondering. Is the Biblical account of the and Noah's ark really credible. Can a trully honest person believe it? Is there any evidence that such a flood ever happened? Could all those animals fit in the ark? Could it have been a local flood? What about the possible eye witness accounts claiming the ark still exists on Mt. Ararat? Could it still be there?

These challenges are addressed by Dr. Patton fairly, Biblically and factually. They are answered in a way that sustains and strengthens faith in God' word.

Dr. Patton has a broad educational background; four years at Florida College, Temple Terrace, FL (Bible); two years at Austin Peay State University, Clarksville, TN (Geology); two years at Indiana Univ./Purdue Univ., Indianapolis, IN (Geology); two years, Pacific School of Graduate Studies. He has worked as Geologist in US, Canada, Australia, England, Mexico, Peru, bolvia, Cambodia, Israel, and Jordan. Dr. Patton has participated in dinosaur excavations in Colorado, Texas, Utah, Wyoming and Canada. He is credited with excavating the longest consecutive dinosaur trail in North America, totaling 157 tracks, extending over 500 feet. He is a member of the Geological Society of America and was a speaker at their 1997 annual convention. Dr. Patton lectures at universities accross the United States. He has conducted up to twelve Creation/Evolution Seminares a year for twenty five years. He has participated in numerous public debates on creation/evolution including radio and TV debates. He has testified three times before Texas State Textbook Committe, Austin, TX. Presently, Dr. Patton is consulting geologist & partner in Mazada Corporation, Dallas, TX. He is a staff geologist of the Creation Evidence Museum, Glen Rose, TX, staff geologist for the Qumran Plateau excavation in Israel, an area supervisor at the City of David excavation in Jerusalem and charman of the Metroplex Institute of Origon Science.

greghar2003 has made a comment on Octopus Cold Adaptation Surprises Scientists: George Gaylord Simpson, perhaps the most influential paleontologist of the 20th century and a major contributor of the modern evolutionary synthesis, wrote in The meaning of evolution, p. 326., "It has been suggested that all animals are now specialized and that the generalized forms on which major evolutionary developments depend are absent. In fact, all animals have always been more or less specialized and a really generalized living form is merely a myth or an abstraction."Real Science with the usual Weasel WordsThe octopus traditionally, plural: octopuses, see below) is a cephalopod mollusc of the order Octopoda. Octopuses have two eyes and four pairs of arms, and like other cephalopods they are bilaterally symmetric. An octopus has a hard beak, with its mouth at the center point of the arms. Octopuses have no internal or external skeleton (although some species have a vestigial {Weasel Word] remnant of a shell inside their mantle), allowing them to squeeze through tight places. Octopuses are among the most intelligent and behaviorally flexible of all invertebrates.

How would our view of dinosaurs change if scientists found carbon 14 in their bones? Well, a group of geophysicists claimed to have discovered exactly that—carbon 14 in dinosaur bones! This is indeed a shocking proposal for those who believe that the last dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago, because carbon 14 decays so fast that it could not possibly survive that long. There should not be one atom of carbon 14 present in dinosaur bones, if they really are as old as is usually claimed. After going to great lengths to rule out contamination, the researchers concluded that they had indeed found carbon 14 in dinosaur bone. These results seriously undermine the evolutionary story of long ages of earth history. However, they fit nicely with Biblical history, whereby dinosaurs lived only thousands of years ago, with their fossils forming from animals buried during Noah’s Flood.To find out more from Creation Ministries International visit our website http://creation.com.

According to recent study by researchers at the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom, working with the American Museum of Natural History, ancient ancestors of modern day arachnids like spiders and scorpions had two sets of eyes, instead of just one. This new data is based on fossil evidence from Eastern France of the species known as harvestmen or daddy longlegs, which is a species of arachnid ancestor that lived around 305 million years ago, and still survives in an evolved form today.

According to recent study by researchers at the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom, working with the American Museum of Natural History, ancient ancestors of modern day arachnids like spiders and scorpions had two sets of eyes, instead of just one.

This new data is based on fossil evidence from Eastern France of the species known as harvestmen or daddy longlegs, which is a species of arachnid ancestor that lived around 305 million years ago, and still survives in an evolved form today.

Results of x-ray imaging revealed that the ancient harvestmen had one pair of median eyes in the center of their head, and another lateral pair of eyes on the side of their head.

Modern harvestmen only have one set of eyes, but genetic analysis of their embryos revealed the remnants of what used to be the genes responsible for the second set of eyes in their ancestor species.

Russell Garwood, a paleontologist at the University of Manchester is quoted as saying: "These findings represent a significant leap in our understanding of the evolution of this group."

Terrestrial arthropods are reportedly difficult animals to study because their bodies don't preserve well, so the fossil record is scarce.
